This is still lacking a few modules. You can load them manually but ideally these are included in

/etc/modprobe.d/modprobe.conf.dist

and I'm wondering what yours reads. It should load modules snd-pcm-oss, snd-seq-oss (using /sbin/modprobe), among others and include aliases for these (alias sound-service-*).

Try the routine again using this /etc/modprobe.d/modprobe.conf.dist:

Nothing got added to dmesg or /var/log/messages.

I tried several other modules too. Some let me open alsamixer but
give the same result (no master volume). I'll try some more, because
I thought I've seen one that gave more items in alsamixer.

Hi pithball,

Thanks for reading it.
I don't see any settings about my soundcard in my BIOS though, so I have
no clue on how to enable it.
Further, sound does work when I boot winxp...

indicate that your card is disabled. Have you checked your bios settings?

A little bit of progress...

I found some lines in /etc/modprobe.d/modprobe.conf.dist
which should not be there.
I commented those lines here:

#alias char-major-116-* snd
#alias sound-service-*-0 snd-mixer-oss
#alias sound-service-*-1 snd-seq-oss
#alias sound-service-*-3 snd-pcm-oss
#alias sound-service-*-8 snd-seq-oss
#alias sound-service-*-12 snd-pcm-oss
#
#install sound-slot-* /sbin/modprobe snd-card-${MODPROBE_MODULE##sound[_-]slot[_-]}
#
#install snd-pcm /sbin/modprobe --ignore-install snd-pcm && /sbin/modprobe snd-pcm-oss && /sbin/modprobe snd-seq-device && /sbin/modprobe snd-seq-oss
#
alias nfs4 nfs

install eth1394 /bin/true

#install snd-emu10k1 /sbin/modprobe --ignore-install snd-emu10k1 &&
/sbin/modprobe snd-emu10k1-synth


After that, I am able to /etc/init.d/alsasound stop
successfully !

When trying to start it again, it says this:

# /etc/init.d/alsasound restart
Shutting down sound driver: done
Starting sound driver: snd-hda-intel done
/usr/sbin/alsactl: load_state:1236: No soundcards found...

Yes, and the same goes for USB soundcards.

As I don't have a laptop, I'm not sure, and had been wondering about that
myself.

It may be best to put that question to the list here, or on Linux audio user
list. Folks who are using either USB, or pcmcia cards will be able to make
better suggestions than me. It depends as well, how much you can afford. I
think the pcmcia ones are generally more expensive than the USB ones.

I hope you get the sound fixed soon, one way or the other. It's obviously a
very frustrating problem.

Hello JeeBee,

Yep.. your kernel needs to be updated. See the how-to:

http://www.digitalhermit.com/linux/Kernel-Build-HOWTO.html

if you haven't done this before.

The first link I referred you to about the patch was just a submission of corrrections to be compiled into the kernel. These corrections weren't actually implemented in a public release candidate until 2.6.18-rc1. See http://lwn.net/Articles/190305/ and search for alc883 in the text.

By the way, I discovered that alsaconf is creating
my /etc/modprobe.d/sound (instead of appending to /etc/modprobe.conf).

Dear Pithball,

Thanks for trying to help me. I will now perform the steps
you mentioned.

> Ok. Try this.
> Change your /etc/modprobe.conf back to its original form
< then try this routine again and copy and paste all terminal output here.

For some reason, I have /etc/modprobe.d/sound, so I moved that
to /tmp. I guess that's okay.

[root@localhost etc]# grep -ri snd mod* | grep -v "#"
modprobe.conf.old:alias snd-card-0 snd-cs4236
modprobe.conf.old:alias sound-slot-0 snd-cs4236
modprobe.conf.old:options snd-cs4236 port=0x530 cport=0x538 isapnp=0 dma1=1 dma2=0 irq=5
modprobe.d/sound:alias snd-card-0 snd-hda-intel
modprobe.d/sound:alias sound-slot-0 snd-hda-intel
[root@localhost etc]# mv modprobe.d/sound /tmp

> $ /sbin/service alsasound stop

[root@localhost etc]# /sbin/service alsasound stop
Shutting down sound driver: done

> $ lsmod | grep snd

[root@localhost etc]# lsmod | grep snd
snd_page_alloc 11272 0

Is correct. My /etc/init.d/alsasound explicitly omits to
rmmod snd_page_alloc.

> $ /sbin/service alsasound start

[root@localhost etc]# /sbin/service alsasound start

Gives no output at all.

> $ lsmod | grep snd

[root@localhost etc]# lsmod | grep snd
snd_page_alloc 11272 0

Hmmm, nothing because I removed the modprobe conf?

> Look in
> $ alsamixer

[root@localhost etc]# alsamixer

alsamixer: function snd_ctl_open failed for default: No such device

Cannot run alsamixer now.

Ok, Nigel, thanks for asking.
I do read some good news here as well.
I can buy a pcmcia card and have sound with linux then?
Can this card use my internal laptop speakers?
And, more importantly, which card should I buy then?

Maybe I will do so. But I'll try to be a little patient first and
wait a few weeks and pray my bug gets fixed from Alsa's bug tracker.

Hallo,

has anyone gotten the integrated Bluetooth to work ?

The Bluetooth device is connected via USB, but after powering up the
device is disabled.

For Windows there is a tool for "plugging the device in", so the Windows
device manager finds the device and installs the drivers.

There is a really old tool (dmabt) for Linux, for some older Laptop
Models. But I don't found anything, if this tool is compatible with the
modern Tecras nor does this tool work Kernels above 2.4.

Robert

I am not sure that means much. On my Toshiba, it says my sound card is
disabled, and it is working. I thought it was kind of funny to see that
my sound card was disabled while listening to an mp3 file...

Hi JeeBee. I,ve just posted your problem to the Alsa-user list, and the news
is perhaps not good. The main problem is that many laptop's soundcards are
basically crappy, and if you're going to use your laptop for serious audio
work, it's probably best to get, either a USB soundcard, or a pcmcia one.

Anyway. This is what Lee Revell posted back to me.

My comment.

Lee's reply.

There's really no telling. It's misleading to say "snd-hda-intel is
supported" because every single laptop and motherboard with
snd-hda-intel is slightly different and there's absolutely no
documentation on what the differences are. Possibly the hardware is
oncorrectly detected. It's also possible that these devices simply have
no hardware master volume and Windows emulates it in software.

All these users can do for now is search for information about their
machine in the ALSA bug tracker and hope it gets fixed someday. (They
can also try the various model options for their codec described in
Documentation/ALSA-Configuration.txt).

And a further post from Lee.

My posting of your amixer output.

Since you only seem to have 2 channels, doesn't "Front" work as a
master?

Lee.

Sorry that I couldn't bring you any good news.

I did this, no errors.
